Hello from Indiana!

[zeg]

I'm decidedly not a new member to the site (I think this is my 2,421st post), but I'm a new member from Indiana .  Just finishing up the move to West Lafayette from Pasadena, CA.  I'm finishing up my degree (writing my thesis right now, and have to go back out next month to defend it) and I'll be working at Purdue starting at the end of this month.  The last couple months have been completely crazy getting ready to move my family while racing to finish up, but the light at the end of the tunnel is now coming into view so I thought I'd post this.

Have had zero time for golf in the last few months, and will probably have almost zero for the next bit, but right now I'm in Bloomington staying with my folks so I can use my dad's office for writing while we get Internet and so forth set up in West Lafayette.  I think I may get out to golf with my dad this afternoon since you can always justify one afternoon off in a week, right?  It'll be great, since I moved away 16 years ago, I've almost always visited around Christmas time, so it's always been lousy weather.  Got about 13 holes in on a Thanksgiving visit a couple years ago, but that's really been it.  Looking forward to playing a full round, and having lots more chances over the next couple years while we're close to home again.

Welcome to the forum, zeg! I look forward to getting to know you! ;-)

Indiana from California? Movin' on up! ;-)

Welcome back man! To golf, The Sand Trap, and the half of the country that gets snow.

Shhhh. If we don't talk about it, maybe it won't come this year.

Thanks, guys.  I'm actually pretty thrilled to be back in Indiana.  California was nice, but the traffic and sheer number of people was really not my cup of tea.  My wife is also happy, particularly to get some snow in the winter (she's Canadian).  The only one in the family not entirely thrilled is my 5-year-old, who is concerned about "cyclones" after having the Wizard of Oz read to him.  I tried to convince him that it's much better to face cyclones than earthquakes, but he's not buying it...

Welcome to Indiana :)! Purdue's a great school to be working at.
